My husband and I are planning a relaxed February 2027 trip to France and would appreciate thoughts on our itinerary, particularly our hotel choices and locations. we sold our Florida condo and want to escape Canadian winter. We know the weather will not be ideal but better than here hopefully

We’d appreciate any comments on our hotel choices/locations and recommendations for must-see sights in Paris and La Rochelle. We enjoy history, walking and exploring at a relaxed pace. Il de Re is ancestral home
I had high normal eye pressure in my 40s and diagnosed with glaucoma at about age 51. Left eye enucleation at age 50 due to melanoma. High myopia -13 until cataract surgery last November. Pressure was stable around 17 since my diagnosis in 2008 on lumigan. Last April it spiked to 30 so my doctor added combigan. brought it down and then spiked again before surgery to the 20s so he added azopt. Was in the low teens on the three meds so we tried to reduce in April, removing the azopt and it was 20 than 21 in May. he's not happy with the pressure and the dry eye with combigan so he replaced it with AZARGA. Still on the lumigan also. Another check in a few weeks. To get to my question, should I try to eliminate coffee? I really don't wanna have surgery to reduce my pressure. I have 2 to 3 cups of half decaf every day.
